Mental Health Services
Who We Are:
The mission of the BC Division of Mental Health Services (BCDMHS) is to assure that Bergen County residents of all ages, from youth to the aged, who need treatment for a mental illness have access to care, regardless of ability to pay, in compliance with the New Jersey Administrative Code [NJAC] 10:37.
The Division aims to raise awareness that mental illness is a disease, not a choice.
What we do:
- Planning and Oversight
- System Coordination
- Public Education
- Information, Referral and Advocacy
- Liaison between State, Regional and Local Planning Bodies
- Legal Counsel and Representation
If you or a family member are experiencing the signs or symptoms of a mental illness and feel you are in crisis, call 201-262-HELP (4357). Crisis counselors are available 24/7 to guide you through the next steps of getting help.
